1. Important

This electronic user’s guide is intended

for anyone who uses the Philips

monitor. Take time to read this user

manual before you use your monitor.

It contains important information and

notes regarding operating your monitor.

The Philips guarantee applies provided

the product is handled properly for

its intended use, in accordance with

its operating instructions and upon

presentation of the original invoice

or cash receipt, indicating the date of

purchase, dealer’s name and model

and production number of the product.

1.1 Safety precautions and

maintenance

Warnings

Use of controls, adjustments or

procedures other than those specified

in this documentation may result in

exposure to shock, electrical hazards

and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions

when connecting and using your

computer monitor.

Excessive sound pressure from

earphones and headphones can cause

hearing loss. Adjustment of the

equalizer to maximum increases the

earphones and headphones output

voltage and therefore the sound

pressure level.

Operation

• Please Keep the monitor out of

direct sunlight, very strong bright

lights and away from any other heat

source. Lengthy exposure to this

type of environment may result in

discoloration and damage to the

monitor.

• Keep the display away from oil. Oil

may damage the plastic cover of the

display and void the warranty.

• Remove any object that could fall

into ventilation holes or prevent

proper cooling of the monitor’s

electronics.

• Do not block the ventilation holes

on the cabinet.

• When positioning the monitor, make

sure the power plug and outlet are

easily accessible.

• If turning off the monitor by

detaching the power cable or DC

before attaching the power cable

or DC power cord for normal

operation.

• Please use approved power cord

provided by Philips all the time. If

your power cord is missing, please

contact with your local service

center. (Please refer to Service

• Do not subject the monitor to

severe vibration or high impact

conditions during operation.

1. Important

• Do not knock or drop the monitor

during operation or transportation.

• Excessive usage of monitor can

cause eye discomfort, it’s better to

take shorter breaks more often at

your workstation than longer breaks

and less often; for example a 5-10

minute break after 50-60-minute

continuous screen use is likely to

be better than a 15-minute break

every two hours. Try to keep your

eyes from eye strain while using the

screen for a constant period of time

by :

• Looking at something varying

distances after a long period

focusing on the screen.

• Conscious Blinking often while

you work.

• Gently closing and rolling your

eyes to relax.

• Reposition your screen to ap-

propriate height and angle ac-

cording to your height.

• Adjusting the brightness and

contrast to appropriate level.

• Adjusting the environment light-

ing similar to that of your screen

brightness, avoid the uorescent

lighting, and surfaces that don’t

reect too much light.

• Seeing a doctor if your symp-

toms.

going to use it for an extensive

period of time.

• Unplug the monitor if you need to

clean it with a slightly damp cloth.

The screen may be wiped with a

dry cloth when the power is off.

However, never use organic solvent,

such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based

liquids to clean your monitor.

• To avoid the risk of shock or

permanent damage to the set, do

not expose the monitor to dust,

rain, water, or excessive moisture

environment.

• If your monitor gets wet, wipe it

with dry cloth as soon as possible.

• If foreign substance or water gets in

your monitor, please turn the power

off immediately and disconnect

the power cord. Then, remove the

foreign substance or water, and

send it to the maintenance center.

• Do not store or use the monitor in

locations exposed to heat, direct

sunlight or extreme cold.

• In order to maintain the best

performance of your monitor and

use the monitor in a location

that falls within the following

temperature and humidity ranges.

• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F

• Humidity: 20-80% RH

Important information for Burn-in/

Ghost image

• Always activate a moving screen

saver program when you leave

your monitor unattended. Always

activate a periodic screen refresh

application if your monitor will

display unchanging static content.

Uninterrupted display of still or

static images over an extended

period may cause “burn-in”, also

1. Important

known as “after-imaging” or “ghost

imaging”, on your screen.

• “Burn-in”, “after-imaging”, or

“ghost imaging” is a well-known

phenomenon in LCD panel

technology. In most cases, the

“burn-in” or “after-imaging” or

“ghost imaging” will disappear

gradually over a period of time after

the power has been switched off.

Warning

Failure to activate a screen saver, or

a periodic screen refresh application

may result in severe “burn-in” or “after-

image” or “ghost image” symptoms

that will not disappear and cannot be

repaired. The damage mentioned above

is not covered under your warranty.

Service

• The casing cover should be opened

only by qualified service personnel.

• If there is any need for any

document for repair or integration,

display card or software installed in

your PC, the monitor can automatically

reduce its power consumption when

not in use. If an input from a keyboard,

mouse or other input device is detected,

the monitor will 'wake up' automatically.

The following table shows the power

consumption and signaling of this

automatic power saving feature:

7.1 Philips’ Flat Panel Monitors

Pixel Defect Policy

Philips strives to deliver the highest

quality products. We use some

of the industry's most advanced

manufacturing processes and practice

stringent quality control. However,

pixel or sub pixel defects on the TFT

Monitor panels used in flat panel

monitors are sometimes unavoidable.

No manufacturer can guarantee that

all panels will be free from pixel

defects, but Philips guarantees that

any monitor with an unacceptable

number of defects will be repaired

or replaced under warranty. This

notice explains the different types of

pixel defects and defines acceptable

defect levels for each type. In order to

qualify for repair or replacement under

warranty, the number of pixel defects

on a TFT Monitor panel must exceed

these acceptable levels. For example,

no more than 0.0004% of the sub

pixels on a monitor may be defective.

Furthermore, Philips sets even higher

quality standards for certain types or

combinations of pixel defects that are

more noticeable than others. This policy

is valid worldwide.

Pixels and Sub pixels

A pixel, or picture element, is composed

of three sub pixels in the primary colors

of red, green and blue. Many pixels

together form an image. When all sub

pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored

sub pixels together appear as a single

white pixel. When all are dark, the three

colored sub pixels together appear as a

single black pixel. Other combinations

of lit and dark sub pixels appear as

single pixels of other colors.

Types of Pixel Defects

Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on

the screen in different ways. There are

two categories of pixel defects and

several types of sub pixel defects within

each category.

Bright Dot Defects

Bright dot defects appear as pixels or

sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. That

is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands

out on the screen when the monitor

displays a dark pattern. There are the

types of bright dot defects.

One lit red, green or blue sub pixel.

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple

- Red + Green = Yellow

- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
